Interview Questions (Finance)
Could someone please help me with these finance interview questions?
1) If PPE increases by 100, 10 year straight line depreciation, walk through how this would affect the 3 statements.
2) Why do you subtract net increase in working capital when calculating FCF?
3) The formula for levered FCF = Net Income(1-t)+DA-Capex-Net Inc Working Capital, right?
Thank You
First one too lazy to type up. Just go through the statements as amort expense increases which lowers ur income which lowers retained earnings. Then look at asset side of bs. Then ni dropp by 1-t times 100 and dep inc by 100 so u will have increase in cash flows which can be seen by tax savings of amort expense. You sub inc in wc because as recievables increase u get paid less on ur sales, meaning bad for cash flows. And as payables fall means ppl expect u to pay sooner which again bad for cash flows For lev fcf u forgot to add new issuance of debt minus repayment. And its not net income times 1-t its just net income its been taxed already
Sorry for typos on bb
Thank you. Which part of the CF statement will increase from the tax saving - operating?
1) If PPE increases by 100, 10 year straight line depreciation, walk through how this would affect the 3 statements.
Lets say you buy PPE at the beginning of year with cash. Cash down 100, PPE up 100. Lets say FS are end of year. Assuming there's no (additional) salvage value, you'd have a $10 depreciation expense (IS). This would reduce net income by $6 (assuming 40% tax rate-- easy number). On CF, you'd start with this lower NI (-$6) and add back your $10 depreciation expense under operating (you've got to add back non-cash expenses), leaving you w/ a change in cash position of +$4. Back on your BS, you'd have $10 A/D, cash increase of 4, and retained earnings decrease of 6. So end of year, assets down by $6 and SE down by $6. (I guess the way to look at the cash increase of 4 is as $4 you would have otherwise spent on taxes)
